Political Representation of Mumbai in Rohinton Mistry’s A Fine Balance

Abstract

Shaival Thakkar in his article “Political Representation of Mumbai in Rohinton Mistry’s A Fine Balance” studies Mumbai in the light of A Fine Balance. Perspectives of the characters are taken into account, and the times in which such characters, themes and ideas come into existence are delved into. Thakkar also writes about the impact of violence on the lower castes in the city and highlights the representation of Mumbai as a cityscape through its crowded trains, the restaurants and the court houses.
